Important Reminder : • You do not need to have a Contract in place to move freight. • The Customer Contract is only necessary if the Customer will not give you the freight otherwise. • Agents may NOT sign a customer contract, only a Landstar corporate officer. Agents may only sign rate confirmations which contain no contractual language.
